Smile re; Black oil

I would like to thank all for the response that I've gotten.
I feel that I must explain the reason to my question to black oil.
Ive been riding bikes for 30 yrs or so. I've also had a couple of muscle car
that I've been proud to own, as 69' Plymonth Roadrunner, 69 Dodge Charger, 70 AMX Javelin, and a 71 Plymonth Roadrunner. As far as bikes Ive had a 75 Kawasaki 900 Z1, 76 Kaw. KZ1, 00' Yamaha V-Star 1100, and then my Baby the 01' HD FLHTCI.
I am a fanatic about keeping a car or a bike clean, inside and out. I believe that a clean engine is a healthy engine. It's just that with everything I have owned in the past, Ive never had a problem like
this. Not even in any of my family cars! Ive always changed to syn oils
with all my vehicles, and never ran across this problem. Blow-by sounds
logical and sending my oil to a lab is another option I didn't think of.
I was looking for some feed-back on possibilities and got some.
THANKYOU,

Shadowryder55
